Hello! I developed a web map service by using Python Mapscript. This application is based on CGI, that is, basic CGI in Apache executes python script. I didn't use mod_python. Till now, I didn't include any tags for metadata in my map file, so now I want to include them. I looked at how-to doc in MapServer homepage, and got a question. The doc says for wms_onlineresource I have to use the url of mapserv cgi. But if I do that, it means that I have to use mapserv cgi for distributing my data and also use a simple cgi using python for my application, doesn't it? And this structure seems to be wierd. I found a python script for providing metadata and it used mod_python.
So if I use mod_python, then don't I need to use mapserv? Is there any way for WMS by using only python without any changes? The next question is if I use mod_python, can I improve the performance of my application? I wonder if other people using python and mapserver prefer mod_python to simple cgi. Thanks for your answers ^^. from Myunghwa Hwang
